My Aim Is True is the debut studio album by English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, originally released in the United Kingdom on 22 July 1977 through Stiff Records. After years of little success performing in Britain, Costello was signed to Stiff through the label's founders Dave Robinson and Jake Riviera. Recording sessions for the album took place at Pathway Studios in Islington, London, from late 1976 to early 1977, over the course of six four-hour studio sessions. Produced by Stiff artist and musician Nick Lowe, the backing band was made up of members of Clover, a California-based country rock act, who were uncredited on the original release due to contractual difficulties. Costello kept his day job as a data entry clerk during the sessions.

  • My Aim Is True es el álbum debut del músico británico Elvis Costello, originalmente publicado el 22 de julio de 1977 en el Reino Unido a través de Stiff Records. Las sesiones de grabación del álbum se llevaron a cabo en los estudios Pathway en Islington, Londres desde finales de 1976 hasta principios de 1977, en el transcurso de seis sesiones de estudio de cuatro horas, con un total de aproximadamente veinticuatro horas. Producido por Nick Lowe, la banda de apoyo estaba conformado por los miembros de Clover, una banda estadounidense de country rock, quienes no estaban acreditados en el lanzamiento original debido a dificultades contractuales. Mientras actuaba como D.P. Costello, Jake Riviera, cofundador de Stiff Records, decidió cambiarle el nombre a Elvis en honor a Elvis Presley y ajustó su imagen para que coincidiera con el entonces creciente movimiento punk. La música en My Aim Is True está influenciada por una amplia variedad de géneros, desde punk, new wave y pub rock británico hasta elementos de rock and roll, R&B y rockabilly de la década de 1950. La portada monocromática original, la cual muestra a Costello en una postura con el pie torcido hacia adentro, se coloreó más tarde para las reediciones. El álbum fue precedido por el lanzamiento de tres sencillos cada uno de los cuales no llegó a las listas. En junio de 1977, Costello formó una nueva banda de acompañamiento permanente, the Attractions, para adaptarse mejor a su nueva imagen y comenzó a tocar en vivo con ellos durante el resto del año. Poco después de la muerte de Presley en agosto, My Aim Is True alcanzó el puesto #14 en la lista de álbumes del Reino Unido. La versión estadounidense, publicada en noviembre de 1977 a través de Columbia Records, añadió el sencillo más reciente de Costello, «Watching the Detectives» como canción de cierre. En el lanzamiento, My Aim Is True fue recibido con elogios de la crítica, muchos elogiando la maestría musical y la composición de Costello; apareció en varias listas de fin de año. En décadas posteriores, los comentaristas lo consideran uno de los mejores trabajos de Costello, uno de los mejores álbumes debut en la historia de la música y ha aparecido en numerosas listas de lo mejor. El álbum fue reeditado en 1993 y 2001, ambos con extensas notas de álbum escritas por el mismo Costello, y en 2007 como una edición de lujo. (es)
  • My Aim Is True est le premier album d'Elvis Costello. L'album a été enregistré à , Islington, Londres au cours de l'année 1976, pendant des sessions conduites tard dans la nuit, en un total de vingt-quatre heures. C'était le premier de cinq albums studio produits par Nick Lowe. La couverture présente des rangées de petits carrés noirs et blancs (entourant la photo de Costello) sur lesquels est écrit "Elvis Is King". La pose de Costello sur la couverture deviendra un look emblématique pour lui, avec les lunettes de Buddy Holly et les genoux recourbés vers l'intérieur. Il tenait une pose similaire au dos de la couverture d'origine. (fr)

Recording sessions for the album took place at Pathway Studios in Islington, London, from late 1976 to early 1977, over the course of six four-hour studio sessions. Produced by Stiff artist and musician Nick Lowe, the backing band was made up of members of Clover, a California-based country rock act, who were uncredited on the original release due to contractual difficulties. Costello kept his day job as a data entry clerk during the sessions. At the time performing as D.P. Costello, Riviera suggested that Costello change his name to Elvis after Elvis Presley, and adjusted his image to match the then-rising punk rock movement. The music itself on My Aim Is True is influenced by a wide variety of genres, from punk, new wave and British pub rock to elements of 1950s rock and roll, R&B and rockabilly. The more downbeat lyrics are motivated by revenge and guilt, reflecting topics from relationship struggles to politically charged situations and misogynistic characters. The original monochrome cover art, showing Costello in a pigeon-toed stance, was later colourised for reissues. The album was preceded by three singles, all of which failed to chart. By June 1977, Costello formed a new permanent backing band, the Attractions, to better match his new image and commenced live performances with them for the rest of the year. Shortly after Presley's death in August, My Aim Is True reached number 14 on the UK Albums Chart. The American version, released in November 1977 through Columbia Records, added Costello's newest single "Watching the Detectives" as the final track on side one. By then the biggest-selling import album in US history, it peaked at number 32 on Billboard's Top LPs & Tape chart. On release, My Aim Is True was met with critical acclaim, with many praising Costello's musicianship and songwriting; it appeared on several year-end lists. In later decades, commentators consider it one of Costello's finest works, one of the best debut albums in music history and has appeared on numerous best-of lists. The album was reissued in 1993 and 2001, both of which featured extensive liner notes written by Costello, and in 2007 as a deluxe edition. (en)

  • On My Aim Is True, Elvis' raw energy comes through in a way that's never completely recaptured on later records. While the songs range from mellow country twang to full-on, spitting assault, there's a strange cohesiveness to the album simply by virtue of its rough, rushed feel. (en)
